Though we don’t actively solicit new scripts, we are always on the lookout for plays that serve our mandate and will engage, challenge, and excite our audiences.In our programming, we are specifically interested in:

• inventive new musicals with Canadian content

• bold, contemporary works, notably ones with Jewish themes

• classic plays that remain fresh and relevant

• crowd-pleasing comedies that are witty and relevant

• theatrical adaptations of beloved stories from other genres

• plays of all kinds that actively engage with the diversity of our community

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

If you wish to submit a script to us for consideration, please only include the following:

Name, contact info and brief bio of playwright

A one-paragraph synopsis of your play

A cast breakdown

An explanation of the play’s previous development/production history, and why you think it would be a good fit for the Segal Centre

The first 10 pages of the script

Note: Musical submissions should also include a link to an online source of selected songs

WHAT TO EXPECT

We will send an acknowledgement of your script submission so you’ll definitely know that we got it. We generally cannot offer dramaturgical feedback and will only contact those writers whose scripts we’re interested in.

Due to the amount of submissions we receive and how busy we can get during our production season, responses can take up to several months. We thank you very much for your patience.
